<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) It is permissible to drink while standing in case of need, like in crowded places or when the source of water is high, as is the case in the preceding Hadith reported by Kabshah bint Thābit (764).<br>
2) If a scholar finds that people avoid something and he knows that it is permissible, he should clarify to them the correct ruling on this matter.
